Yotsuba!&..

Characters: Yotsuba Koiwai and you!
Setting: The nineteenth floor on June 19th.
Format: I'm starting in prose, but I'll match you!
Summary: After getting a note from Enoch, Yotsuba decides to search the library for more treasure: information about 'romeance'.
Warnings: None so far!

Yotsuba was always happy to get mail, especially from good friends..but her recent letter inspired her to search the library, since it seemed like it was a huuge beach where seashells and other cool things hid. So, after putting the letter in her pocket, Yotsuba ran down the stairs, careful to avoid any monsters she saw. While she was wearing her sling and sash-pouch, it was still best to avoid any trouble. When she saw the first elevator she found, she pressed the call button and waited, singing to herself to pass the time.

When she finally got onto the elevator, arrived at the meadow, and dashed into the nineteenth floor, her eyes got wide, and she couldn't help but cry out to herself. "There are a lot of gems here! They're really colurful!" Nonfiction books, of course, still looked quite nice, especially to a young child. While Yotsuba was looking for a book to explain 'romentic love', she wasn't the best reader, which resulted in her pulling the first book she found off the shelf and expecting it to have all the answers..when it was just a thin book on psychology.

As Yotsuba tried to read it, her face scrunched up a she tried to make sense of what she was reading. "F..Fruied was..de..deflunked by modern.." After trying to say 'psychologists' and not getting it, Yotsuba glared at the words, as if they were the ones responsible for not having what she was looking for. "That doesn't sound nice!! This isn't a good gem!" Yotsuba closed the book and put it back on the shelf-not in the same spot she had found it in-and kept wandering around, hoping she could find something about what she was looking for.

There was no way he would have ever known that. He would have looked for Enoch if she had cried, the scribe probably could deal better with children than him.

"I liked it too. It... reminded me of something."

Which probably would have been very amusing afterwards but really sad if she had cried.

"What did it remind you of?"

"I think I'll tell Yotsuba that story another time. It's very, very long."

For when he found the right way to tell her this story... the story of Enoch.

It would be a hard task to simplify Enoch's story for Yotsuba, but if you explained a lot of it to her, she might understand it. Knowing about romance would at least clear up why exactly some of the Grigori fell.

"Really? Yotsuba would like to hear it now.."

..And the thought of romance had escaped her tiny brain entirely for the moment.

"It's..." He spread his arms for her to see. "This long. I can't tell as fast as I told you the story of the Little Mermaid."

They had spent most of the day looking for a book that would explain romance.

... Now that he thought of it...

"Yotsuba we just read about romance. A sad one but romance still."

Since Yotsuba was still sitting in Lucifel's lap, she had to look up and turn around a bit to see just how long this story was. When she did see, she was surprised.

"Really?! That's super long then! But how was that story about romeance? Yotsuba doesn't know!"

"It is, isn't it?"

Which is why he couldn't tell her the story now. and the archangel would have to think of a way to make it a child-friendly story.

"The little mermaid liked the prince a lot, didn't she? So much that she would even turn into sea foam."

And find a way to deal with crying children, since even a child-friendly version of Enoch's story might make her bawl a little.

"She did! But..is romeance a super form of love where you would do hurt yourself for someone?"

He'd have to think of a very, very good way to tell her without making her cry. Everything but not making her cry.

"I think it can go this far."

If he emphasized the good parts and said that it would all turn out okay, she might stop crying. A hug or two always helped too.

"Oh! So we found a good gem that had romeance! That was super fast!"

Perhaps he should also speak to Enoch about it before he decided to tell her about his story. And ask him for his point of view.

"We were lucky."

While there was nothing stopping him from doing so, there was the question of whether or not Enoch wanted his story to be told to a five-year-old.

"We were! We were super lucky!"

After looking at the closed book in Lucifel's hands, Yotsuba looked back up at the Archangel.

"Can you read Yotsuba another story?"

Thus the Archangel would speak to the scribe about that. it was the only way he would be sure that it would be okay to tell his story.

"Weren't we?"

With that he thought he'd be done for today, but now that she was asking him...

"... If we find another story I can read Yotsuba one more."

It would be an interesting conversation for the both of them to have later on. However, for the moment, Yotsuba smiled at that information and, quickly, turned around and climbed on top of Lucifel's shoulders again. She really did like sitting on top of people.

"Then let's look for a another nice gem, Luci!"

Lucifel blinked when she climbed on his shoulders once more. But this time he just laughed it off.

"Alright, let's try find another one."

He got up with her again to look for more books with her.

If he was getting used to having a small child on his shoulders, it would be all the better for Yotsuba, since she liked being carried around.

"Okay! We'll find lots of wonderful gems!"

And Yotsuba, as they stood up, remembered that Lucifel didn't like the fact that the book she was carrying was pressing into his neck, so she put it on top of his head like before.

He will have to get used to it in the future, won't he? Not like he's seeing her every day.

"I'm sure of that."

His hair is already ruined from her having put the book on his head before, so he didn't bother with it.

That was true, but since she had done it once with Lucifel, she might continue to do it in the future. Not that it was the hardest thing in the world to get used to.

Of course, if Lucifel told Yotsuba about his hair in the future, it would suffer much less in the future as well, since she was a good little girl at heart.

"You pick a story this time, Luci! Pick a really nice gem, okay?!"

He will do so in the future, he'd like his hair to stay in its usual good shape. It always takes so long for him to make it look the way it should. And no flick with his fingers would make it look the way he wants to.

Lucifel looked at the same bookshelf where they had found the Little Mermaid. Maybe another story of the same author would be good...

"Hmm... how about 'The Ugly Duckling'?"

And, of course, Yotsuba would apologize when he told her and do all she could to fix the problem, if it was there when he did so.

While she had never heard of that story, Yotsuba loved animals, so she smiled and looked down at the book, further smushing Lucifel's hair as she did so.

"I've never read it..but what's a duck? And ugly?"

Sure, she could try to fix his hair for him. Although he wasn't so sure how well that would go.

... Yeah, his hair is ruined for the day.

"Yotsuba hasn't seen ducks before?"

Let's not discuss the word ugly.

Well, he would probably have to help her, since she had never really messed with hairspray or hair products before.

Not that Yotsuba really minded. It made him look silly, and, therefore, less intimidating than his usual spikes might.

"I haven't! I've seen a lot of other animals though! A ducky is an animal, right?"

Not that Yotsuba would mind not discussing it right now. After all, it would come up in the story.

Or just running he fingers through his hair. Yeah, that would take more than an hour to get the way it's supposed to be.

The archangel doesn't like looking silly so much...

"Yes, it's an animal. A bird that can swim on the water."

The ducks first. And later swans he guessed.

And there was no way Yotsuba would manage to sit still for more than an hour pushing his hair back up.

He'll have all the time he wants to fix it later then, since Yotsuba would have to leave eventually.

"Oh! That's super cool then! That's a good birdie then! Can we read about him?!"

Swans would hopefully be covered in the story, since the duck didn't know he was a swan at first either.

And this is where things would get difficult. But now he had a story to read to her, didn't he?

"We can read about him."

Lucifel smiled and took the book about the duckling and placed the Little Mermaid back before he went to go back to the seat they had earlier.

I'm now picturing Lucifel snapping his fingers and giving himself a bad hair day. xD;

Yeah, it would be like that. XD

And then him trying to make it better, only for it to come out worse..

Priceless. XD

That mental image really is wonderful! xD;

Ain't it?
